“Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.” – Thomas Carlyle

Here I have cheery picked a great collection of important life lessons quotes to share with you. Just like what the above life quote says we all have to live and learn from life lessons to fully understand about life.

The key thing is do not waste your time, letting life slips through your fingers by living in the past or wondering and worrying about the future. Just live your life one day at a time, and live consciously. As author Neale Donald Walsch says: “A life lived of choice is a life of conscious action. A life lived of chance is a life of unconscious creation.” You need to be aware and make conscious decisions in life.

Be grateful for what you have now and not too overly concerned with what you don’t have at the moment. Believe in yourself, follow your heart and keep chasing your dreams.

Be dare to take calculated risks and veer off to the uncharted course in life. Brace life challenges. It is by taking chances that we learn to be brave. That’s is how we all learn those important life lessons as we go along, ups and downs.
